History

Before 2000, The Manamadurai bus stand was located in the heart of the town in the western banks. All the buses should come through the busy and congested streets of Manamadurai through Anna Statue and Mandapam main road which is too narrow and simultaneously two bus cannot pass at a time. And the road seemed always jammed. Hence, during 1998, The Manamadurai Union Panchayat along with Tamilnadu Road Transport corporation decided to build a Integrated New Bus terminus on the Byepass with High Infrastructure. It took two years to build the bus stand with integrated shopping complex, two wheeler parking lot, Toilets, Hotels, Juice Stalls and attached with a Petrol station. Finally, on 2000, the New Bus terminus was opened and the Old bus terminus was auctioned for Marketting complex. Still, The Manamadurai folks differentiate them by saying "பழைய பஸ் ஸ்டாண்டு"(old bus stand), "புது பஸ் ஸ்டாண்டு"(new bus stand).
